For the second straight season, the Atlanta Falcons will have to wait for cornerback Jalen Collins to serve a suspension for performance-enhancing drugs. This season, it’s going to be a lot longer wait.

Collins, who was suspended for the first four games last season, has been suspended 10 games to start this season. Collins, a 2015 second-round pick, was a regular starter for the Falcons last season. He started six regular-season games after his return and all three playoff games, including Super Bowl LI.

“We are extremely disappointed that for the second straight season we are dealing with a suspension for Jalen,” Dimitroff said. “Such are the consequences when certain choices are made. Our decisions going forward will be based on what Dan and I feel is best for the team.”
